Regular vehicle maintenance is a key measure to ensure vehicle safety and extend its service life. Core items include oil and filter replacement (mineral oil every 5,000 km, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 km, fully synthetic oil every 10,000 km), maintenance of air filters (every 10,000-20,000 km) and cabin air filters (every 10,000 km or annually), as well as brake system inspection (brake pads approximately every 40,000 km, brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km). Transmission fluid should be replaced according to vehicle specifications (manual transmission every 3 years/60,000 km, automatic transmission every 40,000-80,000 km), and spark plugs should be replaced periodically based on material type (conventional every 20,000-30,000 km, platinum every 60,000-80,000 km). Additionally, tyres should be inspected for wear and pressure every 5 years or 60,000-80,000 km, coolant freezing point tested every 2 years or 40,000 km, and battery condition assessed every 2-3 years. For high-usage scenarios, maintenance intervals should be reduced by 20%, with regular throttle body cleaning (every 20,000-30,000 km) and belt inspections (timing belt every 60,000-100,000 km). Systematic maintenance can reduce mechanical failure risks by 50% while optimizing fuel efficiency and road safety.
